    No. The NL&A had the 80-tonners for several years now. They were using one of the four 80-tonners that they had because both of their SW-1s were temporarily out of service. They’re back running now. The photos was taken at McGehee.

    NL&A trackage as seen from the Hwy 257 crossing at McMillan Corner looking south to Lake Village and north to McGehee respectively. The rails are a lot straighter than what they used to be before the rehab started.

    It’s still there but I believe it ends next to County Road 361.

    There’s only one spur track and that’s at the former Riceland mill in McGehee. The only thing upgraded on that spur was the installation of a new switch. There’s also a small siding north of Lake Village where those 80-tonners are located and a siding in Lake Village. Those still retain the 80...

    That is correct. Livingston’s Scrapyard is considering rail service. The Epstein cottonseed gin is also wanting a new spur put in so they can load the cars off of the main.

    They’re still going to be using both the 703 and the 22. The 703 will mainly be used to bring the cars of ballast on and off the line while the 22 hauls loaded cottonseed cars out of Lake Village back to McGehee.
